Display tray

Abstract

Tray units adapted to be mounted on and extend from the front edges of conventional display shelves for supporting and displaying merchandise are provided with mounting support means which attach the tray to the display shelf. The support means includes a first member which extends horizontally from the back side of the tray and a plurality of posts which depend from the first member and extend parallel therewith and rearwardly therefrom. The tray may be simply attached to and supported from the front edge of the shelf by inserting the posts into holes in the shelf so that the first member rests on the top surface of the shelf and the posts rest on the bottom surface of the shelf.

1. A unitary molded display tray comprising:
 (a) a substantially horizontally extending floor; 
 (b) support means comprising
 (i) a first member having a bottom surface lying in a first plane vertically spaced from said floor and extending substantially horizontally and rearwardly from said floor and 
 (ii) a plurality of second members, each depending from said bottom surface and extending rearwardly from said first member with a top surface thereof lying in a second plane spaced from and substantially parallel with said first plane; 
 
 (c) a back wall depending from said support means and supporting said floor; and 
 (d) a front wall and end walls which cooperate with said floor to define a cavity. 
 
     
     
       2. A unitary molded display tray as defined in  claim 1  including a flange extending substantially vertically from said support means. 
     
     
       3. A unitary molded tray as defined in  claim 1  including a tab positioned on said front wall for supporting a graphic display. 
     
     
       4. A unitary molded display tray as defined in  claim 1  wherein said back wall defines an upper edge and said first member of said support means extends horizontally and rearwardly from said upper edge. 
     
     
       5. In combination:
 (a) a display shelf with a substantially flat surface lying in a substantially horizontal plane having a front edge and a plurality of holes passing through said shelf with said holes aligned in a row extending substantially parallel with said front edge; and 
 (b) a unitary molded display tray comprising;
 (i) a floor having a surface lying in a plane substantially parallel with the surface of said shelf; 
 (ii) support means comprising a first member having a bottom surface resting on the top face of said shelf and a plurality of posts extending from said bottom surface, extending through said holes, and contacting the bottom surface of said shelf; 
 (iii) a back wall depending from said support means and supporting said floor; and 
 (iv) a front wall and end walls which cooperate with said floor to define a cavity. 
 
 
     
     
       6. A combination as defined in  claim 5  wherein said unitary molded display tray includes a flange extending substantially vertically from said support means. 
     
     
       7. A combination as defined in  claim 5  including a tab positioned on said front wall for supporting a graphic display. 
     
     
       8. A combination as defined in  claim 5  wherein said back wall defines an upper edge and said first member of said support means extends horizontally and rearwardly from said upper edge.
